On Being Offensive
Everybody, I think, has at least one person whose opinion actually matters. That is, someone - or ones - who, when he or she attacks a cherished belief or closely-held love, can't help but feel bad. Like when Kirstin says Meat Loaf sucks, for example - I find it hard to reconcile the esteem in which I hold her opinion with the fact that Meat Loaf rocks.

That hurts, and it's my own damn fault for not turning the fucking light on.
So anyway, just wanted to say publicly to you-know-who-you-are that I'm sorry, I should have turned on the light, and your opinion matters to me, too, so when it came on and I saw you grabbing your toes and stifling a scream and looking at me like I was the ultimate betrayer, I felt really bad.
Thus it is at some great risk to myself that I present:
